Mark 12:31-33
Contemporary English Version
31 (A) The second most important commandment says: ‘Love others as much as you love yourself.’ No other commandment is more important than these.”
32 (B) The man replied, “Teacher, you are certainly right to say there is only one God. 33 (C) It is also true that we must love God with all our heart, mind, and strength, and that we must love others as much as we love ourselves. These commandments are more important than all the sacrifices and offerings that we could possibly make.”
